Kelsea Ballerini Will Perform at the 2017 ACM Awards

Kelsea Ballerini has joined the lineup of performers set to take the stage during the 2017 ACM Awards. The Academy of Country Music announced the news in a press release on Monday (March 20).

Ballerini is nominated for two awards at the 2017 ACM Awards: Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the Year, the latter for the clip for her single "Peter Pan." She’s spending the first half of the year serving as an opening act on Thomas Rhett‘s Home Team Tour, and then will hit the road with Lady Antebellum, on Lady A’s You Look Good World Tour, which kicks off in May. In addition to her time out on the road, Ballerini is looking forward to the release of her sophomore album.

The 2017 ACM Awards are set to take place in Las Vegas, Nev., on April 2, and air live on CBS beginning at 8PM ET. For the first time ever, the show will take place at T-Mobile Arena; Bentley and Bryan will return as co-hosts.
